Here's me, 3 years ago, complaining about the exact same bug: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21248799 pretty sad to see that absolutely nothing has changed.

This really irritated me when I started working with go, but it stopped bothering me and now I even mostly like it. The missing error checks are annoying, but if you have appropriate editor config it is hard to miss them: https:/&#x2F

I think it's funny that I got downvoted for this! For full clarity: I wasn't suggesting that they _shouldn't_ be called debug tooling, just that it's not what I would call that class of feature, and it seems that other p

I guess I don't call runtime safety features "debug tooling"? But maybe that's the disconnect here
255.
by llimllib 4y ago
> having better debug tooling What debug tooling are you referring to? It seems like people just use lldb to debug zig programs? I'm honestly interested, and searching doesn't turn up good tools as far as I can tell.

It would be cool if "6 minutes / 1 mile in min/km" showed `3:44` instead of (in addition to?) `3.7268` I wrote my own little calculator, much less general than this, to answer running time questions like "to run an

Yes, absolutely. However, they still have to work through the scaling issues and the govvies need to figure out how to deal with the fact that login.gov not only does not, but will not implement IAL2.

I think from the IRS' perspective, they wanted to reach a NIST-certified level of identity verification (NIST 800-63A IAL2 [1]), and there is no governmental service which offered the ability to do that[2], so they went to a private co
